GENTLEMEN, ITHINK it my duty to return you my most ardent and sincere thanks for the benefit my wife has received from your truly valuable Medicine, the Royal Antiscorbutic Drops, nnd wish you, by all means, to make it public, that others similarly afflicted, may know there is such a remedy for them.— My wife had an ulcerated Ancle for more than fifteen years, during most of which period she suffered excruciating pain, and for many months together was unable to walk across the room, much less to attend to her do- mestic concerns. She was, in the course of her afflic. tion, under the immediate care and attendance of a number nf able and experienced physicians and sur- geons, from some of whom she certainly found temporary relief for ten days or a fortnight, but the complaint generally returned with double violence, so that we despaired of ever obtaining a cure, till by mere accident we were recommended to try your Drops, by a gentleman of York, who himself had received a perfect cure from them. 1 procured two small bottles from Mrs. Deighton, your agent in that city, which my wife took, and afterwards a large bottle, which she also took before the complaint seemed to give way: we were then almost ready lo despond and discontinue the medicine, but bring urg^ ed still to persevere, she did so, and after taking a few more bottles, I am happy to inform you she has gained complete Cure, and now enjoys good health ; is able to attend to her domestic concerns as well as she was before her dreadful affliction. It is now ten months since she recovered, and has had no appearance of the complaint since. I shall be glad to satisfy any enquiries on the sub. ject; if by letter, the postage must be paid. I am, gentlemen, With esteem and gratitude, Your obedient humble servant, THOMAS RUTLEDGE To Messrs. John Lignum & Son, Surgeons, Manchester.

Composed of Vegetables, without the admixture of any Mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objections so justly formed against the use of other Dentifrices. Its letersjve power is just sufficient to remove those les'ructive particles which adhere to the Gum$ nnd the uterstices of the Teeth; and if used regularly, will reserve them in a sound state even to old age.

THE PREPARATIONS IN THE WORLD, For the Cure of tbe Venereal Disease, the King's Evil, Scrofula, Scurvy, Fistulas, and every Dis- order arising from Impurity of the Blood. To Iron Masters, Rope. JYIanvfacturers, and Timber Merchants. PJE PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS are a. so well known throughout Shropshire, nnd indeed throughout the Kingdom at large, for the Cure of the above Disorders, and without the Aid of Mercury or of any Surgical Operation, that any Comment on their Virtues is quite unnecessary. As a Purifier of the Blood they are unrivalled in their Effects. And their Efficacy has been attested in numberless Instances; many of them on Oath before the Magistrates of Shrewsbury ; thus establishing their Pre- eminence over the Nostrums of ignorant Quacks, and over the more established Prescriptions of the Regular Faculty. In Cases of FEMALE DEBILITY, TURN OF LIFE, nnd any other Affliction of the Body arising from a changed or vitiated System, the PLOUGIIMAN's DROPS may be relied upon for a certain and speedy Cure. N. B. Doctor SMITH does not recommend a starv- ing System of Diet: he allows his Patients to live like Englishmen while taking the Ploughman's Drops.

S, St. Paul's." The Si ate of the Country the proper Rallying Point for the Opposition. There is no subject of more importance, at this moment, than the state of parties in Parliament, and the formation of a powerful and successful opposition to the present aduiiiiiiM'fation. It is plain to every calm observer thltt ( lie Duke of Wellington only retains his ascendancy by enforcing the strictest military discipline among his adherfttfs, by the com- pactness of tl> e ministerial force, and by the petty ilissentioiis • and deplorable disunion which enfeeble the fawns of fii-. opponents. In the Hohsc of Lords, lie is obliged io resort to despicable mnnceuvri'S in ordtf to tarry the inosl trifling question; : ind avoid ti e odium of defeat. The conduct, of Lord Aberdeen, on the motion of Lord Londondeffy, for certain papers, explanatory of the policy of Austria in the affairs of Greete, Would have berti a reproach even to the administration of Lord Goderich. The sihiple averment, Wrung from the noble Secretary at the last minute of the deljate, that the publication of tliesc | wtpers would embarrass the government, proves all that Lord Londonderry surmised - namely, that Aus- tria, as Well t\ s Prussia, were unfriendly to fhe tiego- cinti. ons of the three allies. The failure of these i t'gocialibfis— the rejection of tiie crown they prof- feted— the obVimis - dii& VtisfaMhih of the Greeks themselves, with respect to the. territory proposed to l't assigned them— in short, Ihe niter failure of all the plans of the Cabinet, show that ministers either < t iered upon tlie speculation with their eyes blind- folded, and> in total ignorance rtf the difficulties of the treaty, or that tbey had not sufficient nerve and influence to enforce tlieir own intentions according to their promises. Among the peers, there was; not a single nobleman of any rank or influence to stand forward in defence of the ministry. The Duke and his Secretary were assailed from both sides of the house. Lord Holland anil the Duke of RigKfiifiSd; 1 ord Wincltilsea ahd Lord Durham, Lord London- derry and Lord Clanricarile, Whig lord and Tory lord, liberal lord. and radical lord, were all arrayed against the Cabinet— that is to say, against its two speaking and all its sleeping members. And defeated they trould have been to a certainty, but for the charita- ble interposition of Lord Calthorpe, and the desperate but " culpable manoeuvre" of Lord Aberdeen. • Such is the position of the Premier in the upper liouse. In the House of Commons his position is equally Unenviable. Sir Robert Peel— the fallen Sir Robert'— formerly of Ox'ford, now of Westbury— once,- the representative of a mpiely'of all the talent of lingliind, but now the representative of a converted Jew and a convicted jobber— this Sir Robert Peel is the Duke's champion in the lower house. He has already- been iii several minorities— has consented to several withdrawals in deft retire to the wishes of tlit house— has held up his head notwithstanding the frequent majorizes of 13, 1ft, aud 21, and so forih, composed of the neediest of his retainers and the most subseri icnt of his clerks, and seems resolved to cling to office, through gootl report and bad report, in spite of disaster, and in defiance of ridicule. There was Ihe Bathurst and Dimdas job— that was a defeat. There was the Windsor Palace job— that also was a defeat. There was the sanguinary clause—( lie hang- ing hill— that was a decided defeat. There was the vote to Scarlett and his five colleagues, all feed in a princely manner to proSfcute and ruin one man— the postponement of that shameful vote was virtually defeat. There was the alteration of the estimates by Mr. George Daw son— this loo was a defeat. Vet, in spite of all this, the happy minister clings By the skirts of his great master, endures ell flic peltings witti Christian fortitude, kisses the foot that kicks him, fawns the hand that smites him, so that we almost think we hear him exclaiming with Maw- worm— < l 1 likes, to be despised . Otic would naturally think that after so many proofs of w eakness the minister would he glad to retire from a struggle which every tnoment is exposing him- to fresh annoyances in parliament and universal odium u out of doors." This supposition, however, is founded on reasons now deemed illiberal and anti- cipated. In former times no minister v7ould have courted or retaiWed power under such circumstances. The present ministers, no doubt, have good reasons tor submitting to these indignities. They arc sowing in tears, in the hope of reaping in joy. Like pious devotees they are cheerfully submitting to the scourge, to the hair shirt, and the crust anil water of the ce I, in the belief tliat these plagues will atone for former sins, and bt their passport to future happiness. They appear to consider office as a sort of inheritance. Sir Robert Peel, a few nights ago, told an lion, mem- ber, that if he would only Wait till the beginning of another session of parliament, he would see the matter to which he bail alluded taken up hy his Majesty's government. This looks like confidence. Sir Robert seems to have made np his mind to be some secretarv for life. The Duke, he thinks, is to die in harness ; and he, Sir Robert, has resolved to die with him, equally honoured and lamented. The secret of all this is, that ministers calculate on the division bf parties. So long as there is no union emong their opponents they have no fear of being unable to ride rough- shod over the conflicting inte- rests of the country. They conceive that this ilissen- tion is to last for some considerable time. They imagiuc that there is no rallying point; anil that the different parties, and sections of parties, will continue their feeble and inefficient existence, voting occasion- ally against each other, and splitting upon non- essentials for ever and ever. Jp this the Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel are much mistaken. There is one rallying point which they cannot remove. There is one simple magic word, deeply engraven upon every heart, whose tone is shrill and animating, and which, like the invasion fires of our ancestors, isctpahle of rousing the spirit of the nafion to energy and patriotism. It is PO- VERTY ! We have now reached that crisis when something must be done to save the country from utter ruin and impending convulsion. This is not a question of faction or party ; il is a question involving domestic peace ami national prosperity. It is whether tlje middle orders of men in this country are to be annihilated, and whether the yeomanry and artizans of England are to be reduced to the serf condition of the people of Poland, or the degrading poverty of the priest- ridden slaves of Ireland. It is a question which embraces the first motive of human action, and the last effort of despair— which asks, whether the lai payer is to be the pauper of the fundholder, or the tax cater the oppressor of the labourer! It is to decide whether the landowner is to be the victim of the mercantile capitalist— whether he is any longer to receivo a rent for his farm, or a price for bis pro- duce equal to tbe public burthens which are imposed upon them. It hr fo decide whether we are to con- tinue to pay twenty- five shillings to the lender for every fifteen shillings we borrowed from hint— whe- ther we are to pay ten per cent, interest instead of five — whether for every six Tt und red pounds we borrowed wc are to pay a thousand ! These are the all- important questions, Which, ere long, must form a bond of union lietween men of all parties, who have any stake in the welfare and pre- servation of their country. The union may be formed to- morrow, or it may not be completed for twelve months to come- We pass no opinion with regard to its advent: wc only speak with certainty of ils occurrence; sooner or litter. When the causes of our embarrassments are so self- apparent, the people of this country would be fo^ ls, even if they were angels, were they much longer to submit calmly to measures founded in error, or to a policy which , is converting them into paupers. Whigs and Tories have their repulsive as well as attractive qualities: The former, where tbe common interests of the com- munity are at stake, must yield to the latter. No government can long survive the united resistance of public opinion. Perfidy may flourish for a while; but its reward is its punishment, and both are certain. Mr. George Dawson, the brother- in- law of Sir Roliert Peel, has already been convinced of this, by the replies lo his canvass of Derry, during the last hours of his sovereign. Public profligacy, as in this in- stance, carries with it the seeds of moral retribution ; and apparent silence is not a proof of conviction or forgiveness. Aposiacy sometimes acts like physical passion : it lias its hour of gratification and triumph : but when the excitement is over, a re- action takes place, and public virtue, aroused from its dream, sacrifices the offender to its resentment. Just so will il be with the present ministers and their heartless and unprincipled supporters. The tVliigs, who sup- ported them when they were otherwise friendless, will desert them when they are really helpless. The despised liberals, who still call themselves Tories, for the same reason that a repudiated mistress calls her self a wife, will be left to praise each other's merit, amid Ihe sneers of universal contempt The nation must be saved, even at the expense of faction— even hough its leaders should turn as they turned before, and beg preferment on the presumption of penitence, and kneel for mercy amid shouts far justice and exemplary pnuishiuent. Much will depend, we admit, on the sentiments and attachments of a certain illustrious personage, but not so much as most people imagine. A constitu- tional monarch will i'espect the opinions as much as he deplores the calamities of his subjects. Such a monarch has more to dread from a mercantile oligarchy, than from an hereditary nobility— more front. tiie ductile wealth Which can make itself wings and fly, than fVom that which is fettered lo the soil or incased in the bowels of the earth. Every measure, therefore, Which" is calculated to restore the middle classes of society to their former sphere of usefulness and comfort, even at the expense of the overgrown capitalist and overpaid pensioner and fundboldcr, must receive the sanction of such a king. It will be his first wish to join his people in their struggle with the factions that oppress them ; and to abjure all theories, aud to oppose the renewal of all treaties with foreign states, the object of which is not clearly and indisputably the advantage of the people at large. At any rate, a constitutional king will always view with apprehension the usurpation of civil offices by military men. The military officer should be under the control of the civil magistrate. When the general becomes the magistrate, the rights of the citizen are exposed to danger. A cabinet composed of general officers becomes a sort of court martial, which sits w ith closed doors. The monarch has as much to dread from such a tribunal as the meanest of his people. A formidable opposition, supported by a consitutidnal sovereign, can alone restore the country to a more healthy Condition.— Sheffield Courant. A meeting of the Trustees of Shrewsbury Streets was held on Monday last ( John Cressetf Pelhain, Esq. M. P. in the chair), to take into consideration the propriety of incurring a further debt of £ 500; the intended outlay of this sum being to Complete the improvements in the vicinity of the Butter Market, by throwing into the slreet a portion of the space near St. Mary's Turnstile, which is now occupied by buildings that are about to be taken down by the Committee for erecting a New Market. The business having been entered upon, the at- tention of the Trustees was directed to a clause in the Act of Parliament, . by which it is provided that no debt call be contracted on the security of the rates beyond the sum of £ 8000 already settled by mort- gage upon the Trust, unless with the consent of three- fourths of the Trustees, and a majority of the Rate- Payers; and as the floating debt of the Trust is still considerable, and the present income totally in- adequate to the allocation of such a sum as £ 500 in the current year for the purpose above slated, it was contended that there was no power in the Trustees of the Streets to enter into the proposed contract with the Committee of the New Butter . Market, under existing circumstances. The following resolutions were then moved and secouded ; and after much discussion, were cariied by a majority of the Trustees:— On Saturday night last, during the. absence of the keeper for a very short lime, the toll gate house on the new road in Bridgnorth was broken into, ahd cash to a considerable amount, with a valuable watch, linen, & c. stolen therefrom.

( Signed) " It. HAI. FORD, " M J. TIBRNEY." It was our painful duty 011 Saturday to say that his Majesty could take but little sustenance. He has scarcely taken any since; and, from all that we can hear, the King is gradually declining. the heavy floating debt ( some of it too unauthorised by the Act) now owing i> y tbis Trust, exclusive- of the ! Mortgage Debt of £ 80 - 0, are decidedly of opinion ' that no further amount of debt ought to he contracted beyond what is. requisite for the. current year, antl which will be covered by the annual receipt; and therefore, taking into their consideration tiie in- adequate manner in which the Town has lately been watched and lighted, and which ought to he the first objects attended to, they cannot, in justice to the Rate- payers at large, consistently with the spirit and letter of the Act of Parliament, be accountable for ; bury, any prospective outlay of money liv the Committee of Management, nor will they be accountable. " That the present year being the last in which the landlords can be called upon to allow to their tenants occupying rateable property within this Trust the one- third ( or landlord's) portion- of the rate, it is the opinion of this meeting that every mode of re- trenchment and economy should be adopted, to enable the Trustees to relieve as far as possible the general body of Rate- payers, tiy first paying off the floating debt, and then by reducing the mortgage debt, arid that for the latter purpose a sinking fund should be established without loss of time, as contem- plated by the Act of Parliament." It was afterwards resolved, on a discussion among the- gentlemen present, one of whom offered himself to subscribe £ 50, that it would be highly desirable to raise a fund by Public Subscription for the purchase of the premises projecting in Ox Lane, near the Butter Cross. 5 Thanks were then unanimously voted to the Hon- ourable Chairman, an I the meeting dispersed. The number of Trustees assembled on this occasion was larger than at any former meeting: there were 56 present.— It was stated by one of the gentlemen who addressed tbe meeting, that the average expendi- ture of Ihe Trust for the last four years was lietween £ 1500 and £ 1600, and that, therefore, they could afford to incur the proposed debt of £ 500— This statement was, there is 110 doubt, made undfr some misapprehension, as the average expenditure of the Trust, for the last four years, amounted to £ 1885. 14s. 111.

MADAME TUSSAUD & SONS, Grateful for the distinguished Success they have met with since their Arriv. il, and also on their first Visit in 1822, when they had the Honour of exhibiting; in the Town Hall ( for which Permission they w ill ever retaj, u the hiyhest Sense of Gratitude), respectfully announce that their Collection of F1GURES, which bus been considerably improved and embellished by Ijie Introduction of a great Number of new Figures, amongst whom will be found from the high and noble to the infamous and dt- testable BURKE and HARE, is now open as ahbve mentioned, w here they hope to be favoured with a Continuation of that kind Support which it is their greatest Pride to merit.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, U30. Visiting Clergyman this week at tbe Infirmary, the Rev. William Vaughan:— House- Visitors, Willian: Cooper and William Harley, Esqi's. The Reserve Companies of that distinguished corps/ the 93( 1 Highlanders, after occupying the barracks at Stockport for 18 months, with little intermission, marched from thence on their route to Brecon, en Thursday last. The gentlemanly demeanour of the officers, and ( he soldier like conduct of the men, had so conciliated public esteem, that they left Stockport with the general regret of the inhabitants— Yesterday they arrived iii' this town ; this morning they will proceed to Church Stretton; and to- morrow they will proceed on their route as far as Ludlow. Madame Tussaud's Exhibition continues fo be extremely well attended, a compliment w hich we are sure the ingenious artiste will fully appreciate; and we have no doubt the public approbation will continue to be expressed, and that there will be the same desire to revisit tbe interesting assemblage which was sir peculiarly evinced when the collection " was exhibited in the Town Hall, in the year 1822. Indeed, if would be extraordinary were it otherwise; for when it is considered what an economical'treat it is, and nt the same time so really amusing, we do not wonder at successive throngs honouring the Assembly Rooms. — Amongst the figures which seem to rivet the attention of every one, are those of BURST, and HARK, which are frequently mistaken for living persons, and, in consequence, often cause fhe most ludicrous mistakes.

It is received in the Royal Navy, the Ship- ping of the Honourable East India Company, and general Merchant's Service. The Fountain Pump raises Water without Loss of Power, giving a Profit- gaiti <> f 73 per Cent, over the best Hydraulic Machine hitherto invented, living no Friction nor Leakage, and . is not liable to choak. The Discovery is of Na- tional Importance^' of very great Value in Mining Undertakings.; also of inexhaustible practical Utility for public and private Purposes, through its Efficiency and Cheapness; nnd the Proprietor of the Patent having been induced on public Grounds to place the Powers he possesses under the Direction of a Com- mittee, in'order to diffuse the Benefits and Advantages of the Invention, NOTICE IS HEEEBY GIVEN, That an AGENT will be appointed for the Tow n of SHREWSBURY and the County of SALOP — He niust be of active Habits, possessed of some Property, and will have a Licence granted IO him for the Right of Manu- facture and Sale, together with full Powers uuder the Patent. As this Ag- ency may he expected to yield a considerable Income per Annum for many Years to come, arid as a previous Knowledge of Hydraulics u hy no Means essential, it is worthy the Attention of Parties of Respectability.

IMPROVEMENTS IN RAIL- ROADS.— The improve- ments introduced by the march of mechanical intellect in the North of England are rapidly extending them- selves in South Wales. An improved railway anil self- acting inclined plane, of nearly half a mile in length, has been recently opened in the immediate neighbourhood of Swansea: the plane is at an incli- nation of only about two inches in a yard. Itconuects the Pentre Colliery, the property of the Landore Colliery Company, with the Swansea Canal. By means of it, ten tons of coal are passed at a time over the space of half a mile in nearly two minutes, being at the rate of 15 miles an hour. Thus this simple arrangement would enable the proprietors, if their demand required it, allowing an interval of three minutes each time for connecting and re- connecting the emptyand full waggons, to send down 120 tons of coal in an hour.— Arrangements have been made by the Monmouthshire Coal Company for employing loco- motive engine, on their extensive lines of tram- road.

This cause, which had excited great interest in Edinburgh for many months past, came on for trial this day; and the Court wao extremely- crowded at au early hour. The pursuer ( plaintiff), Mr. David' Paterson, is an accountant of respectability, in Edin- burgh ; and the defender, Sir. Shaw, is an eminent merchant, in Leith. The parties were accustomed,,, like many other respectable- gentlemen, to play at cards at their convivial and social meetings. In the mohth of August, 1828, at a party at the pursuer's house, the defender lost to that gentleman, at the amiable game of brag, ( which was ( heir favourite plav,) £ 90, and to another parfy £ 115. However severe the loss, the amount was ultimately paid, and tiie matter set at rest. But, in January following, the defender having heard bold assertions of the un- fair play of the pursuer at cards, and, giving credenfce to these charges, sent for Mr. Alex. Paterson, the brother of the party accused, and Communicated to him the imputations against his relation ; adding, in consequence, that, unless the pursuer repaid to him, by eleven o'clock next morning, not only what the defender had lost to hint at their last sitting, but all the sums he had ever lost to him, he would publish the whole transactionsto the world. This communi- cation having been made by Mr. A. Paterson to his brother, the money, amounting to £ 304, was refunded to the defender next day '. The charge and the com. premise afterwards got bruited abroad, very much to the pursuer!?. annoyance • and he had no other way- left of patching tip his assailed reputation, thaii by charging the defender with scandal and libel, and prosecuting him for damages,;, which he laid at £ 15,000 ! The trial was a lengthened one, and many documents as well as witnesses were employed in deciding it. One witness, Mr. Haig, swore distinctly to seeing the pursuer, at one of their parties, take a card from the bottom of the pack, and drop it into his own hand; and another case, equally positive, would have been adduced, but for a formal error, by Which the evidence was excluded...... ..; • j After very eloquent addresses from Counsel, and the evidence on both sides were gone through, Lord. GILLIES, in summing tip, said,," This is a painful case in every point of view. ' Fhe characters of two gentlemen ; ue. here deeply involved, who had previously maintained respectable situations in society. This case is in its nature very short, but it has been made a very long one. I cannot tell how it is, but the Court has been sitting Here nearly ten hours in trying a case, tbe merits of which are contained in a very narrow compass. The parties here are. in differ- ent situations. They come into Court in a different way. The defender, Mr. Shaw, asks nothing from you; all that he seeks or attempts to do, is to defend himself against a claim of £ 15,000 damages. The pursuer claims fhat large amount; and, in considering the case, you must be satisfied that he comes into Court witl; clean hands ; for a man, w ho, by his own impure, improper, or. bhimeable conduct, is placed in the situation in which he now stands — however you may regret it for his own sake, or for the sake of others— such a man cannot demand that reparation which a person placed in another situation has a right to require. Nov? what is the ca. se here ? Shaw lost large sums at play ; he is informed that the pur- suer, with whom he partly lost there sums, had been guilty of cheating. It has been distinctly proved that Mr. Shaw was not the author of this allegation ; but. that he had heard it from others; and that he acted on tolerably rational or probable grounds in giving credit to it. Now, what is tbe situation of the for the defender j if you think otherwise, you must find for the pursuer; and you will mitigate the damages according to the Views which I have laid be- fore you." . ! ... • Several passages in his lordship's speech were cheered bjt the audience; and the Jury immediately returned a verdict for the defender, which was re- ceived with loud acclamations.

TON, of Shrewsbury, Mercers, immediately, 01 Proceedings will betaken to eutorce Puyiueut, pursuer ? From what cause it had originated it is not our business here to enquire, hut reports to his pre- judice were in general circulation. Shaw admits that he accused Paterson; and, Were no justification at- tempted, then you would have to find that the pur- suer was not entitled to high damages. What Shaw's object was in stating the reports he had heard, is another matter. It is said, he wished not only to get back the money he had lost to Paterson, but also what he had lost in Paterson's company. What may be the rule among gamblers in such cases I do not know ; but if a man is cheated, I think the rule in common sense is, that he should get back the money of which he had been cheated. Whether lie should recover all he had lost is another question ; but while 1 say this, I am far from saying that it was a high- spirited or honourable demand made by Shaw. If Shaw were here seeking damages, you would be bound to take this into consideration ; but he is here merely to de- fend himself. The accusation against him is, that he demanded restoration of the money, and this is hot denied ; but it is said that he promised secresv and did not keep it. Any honest man would keep tbe promise he had made, but no man of high spirit would make such a promise as that admitted to be made by Mr. Shaw. If he knew that Paterson was a cheat, lie acted improperly in coming uhder. such an obligation, and, in my opinion, came under as great contumely in making that promise, as in the alleged breach of it. It is impossible either to justify the promirt or lite breach of it. Hut this will not citable you to answer the questions in the issues, one of which if-, Whether lie libelled the character of Mr. PateWoti ? That he did so is beyond all doubt. But there arc citrum stances of mitigation which common sense says, you must take into consideration. This is the second and most important, part of the issues which you must con- sider, before you- can- find a verdict for the pursuer. It is true . that tbe defender accused the pursuer of-' hi ing a chcat. Is it true that he did cheat! If ( Ins be true, then there is an end of the case. What was the conduct of the pursuer, as developed in the evidence? Mr. Paterson won considerable sums of money at cards. His brother is informed by Mr. Shaw, that he ( Mr. P.) had been guilty of cheating, and that he would be exposed if he did not refund' the money. Now, how was he to be exposed? Mr. Shaw said he had prepared a circular letter, and that if the money was not paid back to- morrow forenoon, he would send these letters, and call a meeting of gentlemen known lo both parties, before whoro he would lead evidence proving Mr. Paterson to be a cheat. Now, l will put it to any one of yon, or 1 will put it to myself; suppose such an accusation had been made against us and credited by any one indi- vidual, what would have been our answer? I cannot help thinking that any innocent man would have said, call a meeting, bring your evidence, and let the gentlemen hear mine, and then let them dccide. What better could an innocent man have desired ? It hnd been said that Shaw refused to give Paterson satisfaction in the field ; but it did not appear iti evidence that that kind of satisfaction had been asked of liiiu. Gentlemen, we have nothing to do here with the laws of honour; but, in my opinion, the man who is accused of cheating will not cure bis character in this way. Neither will the man who accuses another falsely, and is unable to make gooil tbe charge. Hy every idea, however, of justice, common sense, or common honesty, the plan propo ed by Mr. Shaw was the fairest that could lie proposed. But what did the pursuer do? He called 011 Mr. Jollie, and said, that the accusation against him was false. Mr. Jollie said, he hoped so, but it was known to half a dozen of tlieir acquaintances. Tbe money was paid back 011 Monday morning, the pursuer all the while knowing that eight or nine friends knew the charge against him, yet bargaining that he should not be exposed to fifteen or sixteen more. It is impossible to view this conduct in any other light than a reluctant admission, that there were grounds for the accusation. On this subject, you have the evidence of Mr. Haig, a witness of perfectly unimpeached character, and what does he tell you ? He has told you that he saw Paterson slip a card from the bottom to the top of the pack, and drop it into his own hand. 1 asked hiin particularly, if this could have happened accidentally ; and he an- swered, it was evidently done by design. Now, if I were to say what characterised an act of cheating at cards, 1 would say just such an act of slipping a card from the bottom to the top of the pack- 1 think, that 011 this point the proof is perfect and clear ; and here I must just return to my former illustration. It has been said that Mr. Haig was only a single witness to this transaction, and that he might have been mis- taken ; 1 wish I could think that lie was mis- taken; but I cannot overlook the strong ami over, whelming circumstance confirmatory to that evidence; I mean, the fact— the damning fact— of the pursuer's paying back the money. This bears directly on the evidence, and is n proof in corroboration of Mr. Haig's testimony, and a virtual acknowledgment of the pur sucr's guilt. It was endeavoured to be shown by the evidence of the brother, that this was his act; but he did not say any thing of the pursuer's having denied the matter ; and 1 do not think you can draw any In- ference in his favour from this. If you think that the pursuer cheated al play, you will find a verdict IRELAND. Cleneral, E/ ectiou.— Emancipation Bill. •• Some electioneering movements have taken place in .

The worthy old member lives ai the village of Hagboilrn, is in his ninety third year, and, notwith standing his advanced age, walked over to the meeting ( a distance of two miles), much more nimbly than many who were his juniors by thirty years. It is remarkable that he never omitted walking these four miles, on that day, ever since the year 1757. This venerable poor old ntail was, after the dinner, chaired round the village, preceded by a band of music, amidst the shouts and plaudits of hundreds of persons; and a collection was made In his behalf. It is probable that all England cannot produce another such a member of a friendly society. The Directors of the Liverpool and Manchester.

The King of France, on the occasion of nominat- ing Ihe presidents of the Electoral Colleges, ad- dresses the whole French nation by a proclamation. The list of presidents is such as might have been expected; they are all of course Royalists— but few of them are violent Ultras.

" The late Chamber of the Deputies were in- formed of my intentions, aud I bad a right to depend 011 their succour lo accomplish that good I intended, but they refused me.

Remain assured of your rights, which I unite with mine, and I will protect them with equal solicitude. Do not tot yourselves be deceived by seditious persons, ene- mies to your repose; and do not yield to unfounded fears, which may excite serious disorders.

Frome ( they stated) contained 7,300 acres, and a population of 14,000 persons. There were 2,500 individuals assessed as rate- pavers, of whom, however, 500 were themselves chargeable upon the parish. The number of able bodied labourer^ re, ceiving parochial relief was 557, and their families amounted to 2,475 persons. Employment could not be found for one- third of the able- bodied labourer! supported by the parish, and the labour of those who were employed was not productive. Within the last three years a sum of £ > 1,000 had been expended in the maintenance of the poor in this parish. Taking 1,200 labourers as the number necessary for t'le em- ployment that could be a limited, 250 of the present number might be spared immediately, leaving a surplus of 300 labourers more than were usually required to answer contingencies. The saving of the parish if 250 individuals and their families wern removed, would amount to £ 3,750 per annum, ani( they could be removed for five years' purchase of ti| 0 expenditure incurred annually for their support.

HYDROPHOBIA. constitutional effects of the poison; since the symptoms had already been frequently described, which frequently occur afler Ihe difficulty of breathing; and swallowing had commenced, i. e. during the last 30 or 40 hours ouly of the patient's existence, while little is at present known of the precursory symptoms, except that there is some undefined general indisposition, and commonly some pain in the bitten part, for three or four days before hydrophobia actually commences; these symptoms generally beginning about six weeks after the infliction of the injury. Willi regard lo llie veralrum sebadillo, IVfr. Haw- kins found that it did not justify the lavish enco- miums which bad been bestowed upon it, as it seemed to produce very little effect, although four limes the quantity which is said to cure hydro- phobia in man was exhibited. As a preventive for hydrophobia, Mr. Hawkins did not seem to place much reliance 011 any internal means, and thought that the boasted efficacy of the guaco would probably be found not lo rank higher than that of many other preventives, all of which had failed ; and be alluded to one of the most cele- brated of them in our own country, Ibe Ormskirk medicine, w e believe, w hich used to contain nothing more powerful than a little chalk. Mr. Hawkins said thai excision and the caustic were the only moults of prevention which could be relied on, and that experience justified the use of these means to an extettl that ought to diminish materially the periodical alarm w hich is felt throughout the coun- try with regard lo hydrophobia. Oue half, at least, he said, of those bitten by does, receive no inocula- tion of the poison, aud out of 400 persons bitten by decidedly rabid dogs, of whom a record is kept by Mr. Youatt, who treated them all with the caustic, although one died with fright, not one had hydro- phobia ; a fact which certainly leaves little ground for apprehension, if recourse is had at an early period to surgical assistance. Mr. Hawkins thought it probable, however, that much might be done towards the prevention of the disease in dogs, from which animal it is most fre- quently communicated to man, if the public were belter acquainted with the early symptoms of rabies ill dogs. Every newspaper, he said, speaks of Ihe application ofthe supposed test in a suspected dog; and if lite animal attempts to lap w atcr, it is allowed to go at large without any apprehension, while, 111 fact, the only comfort of the. rabid dog is lo have plenty of w ater in which he icay attempt to assuage his thirst, although ineffectually, in consequence of the paralysis of the muscles of deglutition. And again, every poor hunted animal, which tries to defend itself against its murderous pursuers, is set down ns raging mad, while the placid, quiet spaniel or house- dog is allowed lo lick its master's fingers, or snarl and bite its companions, without a suspi- cion of the hidden danger, because it does not rush furiously at every thing within its reach;— two instances of Ihe vague and dangerous errors arising from popular ignorance upon this subject. Mr. Hawkins also expressed his opinion that rabies does not now originate spontaneously even in dogs; so lhat it has been successfully prevented from obtaining an entrance into a kennel by making every fresh dog perform quarantine for a definite period. If then, said he, every clog which has been bitten by another, were carefully secluded for four months, which much exceeds the usual period at which the disease commences after the infliction of the injury; and if every dog which shows the least symptom of indisposition were prevented from com- municating the disease, should it prove to be' labour- ing under rabies, much might be done towards the diminution of this alarming malady; and still more, perhaps, if Ihe law were enforced with greater severity against those who keep these animals only for illegal or brutal purposes, since it is asserted by Mr. Youalt, that in 10 cases out of 20, the disease is propagaled by Ibe fighting dog iu town, and by the cur and lurcher in the country. The second part of the paper related to the pre- vention or cure of the bites of poisonous serpents. Mr. Hawkins proved by his experiments that the guaco did not prevent serpents from biting animals to which the guaco had been given, but he had not been able, with the small Quantity of the plant which he possessed, lo satisfy himself of its efficacy as a cure after the bite had been inflicted. He was inclined to think, however, that we ought to treat the injury 011 the same principles, though not quite in the same manner, that Ihe hunters of Monlpellicr adopt when their dogs are bitten by vipers. They make incisions iu the wound, aud till tlicin with gunpowder, which Ihey then set fire to ; aud Mr Hawkins advocated Ihe employment of the ligature or cupping glass, till incision could be inadc, so as lo evacuate some of the poison with the infected blood, and then apply caustic to neutralise the remainder. Before a Committee of Privileges. At the evening meeting of the College of Phy- sicians 011 Monday, a paper was read, giving an account of some experiments made by Mr. Csesar Hawkins, surgeon to St. George's Hospital, relative to the prevention or cure of Hydrophobia, and the biles of serpents, by means ol some South American plants, which have recently been extolled as pos- sessing u specific power against these dangerous kinds of injuries; uud as they possess more general interest than mast professional subjects, we have been tempted to select some parts of the paper, • which convey the opinions of the author, without entering into a detail of all the facts 011 which the opinions themselves have been founded. The medicines which Mr. Hawkins tried were the guaco, which has been brought into notice by Sir Robert Ker Porter, and the veratriim sebadilla, a kind of hellebore, mentioned by Lieutenant Hardy iu his " Travels ;" the former having been tried both in the dog aud in man, the latter only in canine madness. Mr. Hawkins remarked lhat any experiment iu dogs should be conducted, for the sake of security, in what is termed the dumb maducss, iu which there is no disposition to bite, beyond an occasional snap, • which may easily be guarded against; while in another form of canine madness the animal is exceedingly furious and dangerous; aud he ex- pressed bis opinion that there is a corresponding difference in man also, and that in both it arises in great measure from the previous habits aud dis- position ; and, in alluding to Iho danger attending these experiments, he suggested the necessity of caution in those who nurse a patient labouring uuder hydrophobia, since it lias been proved by Mugcndie aud Breschet that human saliva, as well us . that of an i 111 a Is, is capable of reproducing the disease. The etfect of Ihe guaco was lhat of materially mitigating the violence of the disease in the dog, though it was uot given till the third day; so that ullhough several other medicines act as palliatives, — such as the water plantain, a knowledge of which the Russian government purchased at a high price; the skullcap, recommended as a specific by Dr. Spalding, in America; aud especially the bella- donna,— yet front neither of tlieni had such decided and long- couliuued an amendment ever been wit- nessed as from the guaco. in the case of. hydrophobia in man, the influence of the medicine w as less decisive, as, although the patient was calmed by it, yet it was observed that during the times when he seemed most relieved, a glass of water brought into the room tor one of Ihe attendants immediately roused him into one of the liorl id paroxysms of sutfocatiug spasms which cha- racterize the disease, aud Mr. Hawkins had seen much more benefit in another case of the disease from the employment of Prussic acid. But although the guaco failed as a cure in these cases, yet us a palliative it seemed to be possessed of so much power in the dog, that Mr. Hawkins expressed a great desire lo obtain some more ofthe medicine, in order to try its effect at an earlier period, at which time alone it seemed to him proba- ble thai a cure could ever be expected. He sug- gested that for the future the most minute attention should bo directed to the first invasion of the Abstract of the late Mr. MexjnelVs Observations on Mad Doys. [ FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] It. is not true that dogs become mad from any cause but lhat of being bitten by a dog already so.* It is not true that mad dogs have a dread of water. They will pass through it, and even lap it to the last, but not being able to swallow, no diminution of quantity takes place. it is not true that they usually foam or froth at the mouth, but their tongues are in general dry and foul, and sometimes hanging out and slimy. It is not true that they carry their heads or tails in any peculiar manner, that their hairs stand erect, or that their eyes are red and fierce, though the latter have a certain indescribable appearance indicative of the disease. It is not true that tlicy sneak away growling, or that they are more avoided by their own specics than any other dog which seems disposed to attack tlieni. It is not true that they are altogether without sense, as they commonly know their masters, and ar sensible of kindness to the last. A dog shews no sign of disease within fen days of the time of being bitten. The symptoms usually appear between three and eight weeks from the bite, and occasionally as late as eight months or more- Death commonly ensues between the seventh and tenth day. The disorder comes on so gradually, that mischief may be prevented by proper care. The first symptom is a slight failure of appetite, but as this happens in other complaints, it only requires vigilance. T he first certain mark is a disposition to quarrel with, snap at, and bite other dogs ; and a dog should he put under strict confinement the moment he evinces this disposition, A dog does not. bark afler the commencement of the disease, but howls ill a hoarse, dismal, and re- markable manner. It is difficult, however, to say exactly when the commencement is, as the symptoms of approaching madness are much less certain than those of its complete existence; and as a dog is capable of communicating infection very early, it is better not to wait for this sign in order to confine him. A mad dog does not cry out on being struck, nor seem frightened 011 being threatened. When not provoked be usually attacks only those persons who fall in his way, but being wholly without fear, it is highly dangerous to strike at or molest him. Biting without barking is the most certain charac- teristic of madness, and the accompaniment of the howl renders it infallible. All persons should, 011 all occasions, be attentive to the appearance and conduct of dogs, should avoid every dog which has any peculiarity of manner, above all, which flies at or biles other dogs, and should not approach unguardedly, strike at, irritate, or needlessly oppose any strange dog whatever. • If this be correct, whence must the disease originatel- EDIT. A Bill has been brought into Parliament with the view of preventing the spreading of canine madness, and it enacts that magistrates, upon receiving informa tion that canine madness is prevalent, may issue notices ordering all dogs to be confined for a certain period. The act then provides that any person who shall suffer a dog to go at large after such notice shall for every such offence forfeit a sum of money not exceeding five pounds.. When such notice has been issued, it will be lawful for any person to im- pound a dog for the period specified in it, and after the expiration of it, if the owner does not coine for- ward, the dog may be destroyed. The act concludes by directing how the penalty ntay be recovered,, and in what way it is to he applied. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16. THE BERKELEY PEERAGE. Mr. BROUGHAM resumed his arguments in this ease to- day. When he last addressed their lord- ships he had shown the existence of barony by tenure in former times by the dicta of high judicial authorities, I he records of parliament, and the deci- sions of their lordships' house. There was no authority to show that its existence had ceased. It had survived that great measure of the 12th of Charles II. whereby all military tenures \ Vere abolished ; for in that very measure there was an express provision that the privilege of being sum- moned to parliament as parcel of a tenure by1 barony should be saved. It remained with the other side to show what Cltief Baron Comyn meant when he said, " that there was also a barony by tenure to be enjoyed by those who held certain lauds, to which the privilege of a peerage was attached." It will be for them to explain what Sir Matthew Hale meant when he said that some had baronies by tenure, as the Earl of Aruudale and Lord de Berke- ley— what Sir Robert Atkins meant in his History of Gloucester, when he says ( iu allusion to the Berkeley title) " here is a barony by tenure, and when the possession of the barony is vested iu the crown, the title is in abeyance." It will lie for them to make sense of the proviso in the statute which abolished military tenures. Let them answer all these authorities by arguments, and not by sneers and taunts, and by asking questions, some- times kindly a id sometimes insidiously, with a view- to meet the subject by pointing out its absurd con- sequences. Having said thus much, he would now proceed to state the facts on which the present claim was founded. The first grant of the honour to the Berkeley family was iu the first year of the reigu of Richard i. being the first of legal memory, and made by Queen Eleanor, the mother of Richard I. ( the king being then abroad). By a charter, dated the 30th October, she granted to Maurice dc, Berke- ley and bis heirs, Berkeley and all Berkeley Her- nesse, to be holden of the King and his heirs in barony, by the service of live knights. Hernesse is of Saxou origin, and meant all the appurtenances and rights attending lhat barony. This charter was confirmed by Richard himself, and also by King John, to the successors of Maurice de Berkeley. The charter of King John gave the Lord de: Berke- ley supreme jurisdiction over the lives and proper- ties' of those who resided within the manor of Berkeley Castle. No doubt it looked very absurd that a felon escaping from gaol should have a right to sit in their lordships' house to pass judgment 011 the lives and properly of his fellow- subjects, as would be the case if such a person should purchase this barouy, if the right now contended IW were established ; but in former days the barons were as tender of honour and of high blood as they were at present, yet a rogue or a felon might, by purchase, become the sole judge of the lives and properly of his fellow- subjects, as in the case of the Duke of Argyll, who had been, by purchase, supreme justiciary in Scotland, who could sit at the headiOf the criminal court ( as Lord Tenterden would sit'tit Old Bailey), though the money whereby he shonld purchase such a right might have been the result of a robbery eonnnitted on the King's highway. No argument could formerly be advanced against tfet gbt, for it was admitted aud exercised, but now there could, for it had been abolished by legislation, not by taunts and sneers, or hy desuetude; so with barouy by tenure, it might be put down by legis- lation, but not otherwise. The learned counsel having traced the pedigree down to the 15th of Edward I. observed, that in that year it was decided by the justices itinerant in Gloucester, atid admitted by the attorney for the King in certain proceedings in a quo warranto against the then Lord Berkeley, that he held the various liberties and franchises thereiu staled per baronium. Here was a decision of a court of justice recognising a barony by tenure. Having traced down the pedigree to the reign of Henry VII. he begged lo call their lordships'atten- tion to a circumstance which appeared to him to amount to a demonstrative proof that this was a barony by tenure. William Lord Berkeley was a great favuurite of that careful, he would not say avaricious monarch, Henry VII. If a person wished to win his way to a mouareh at the present day, he should do it by stock- jobbing, or dabbling iu the funds, quod longe absit ; bul it appeared that the ay to propitiate a monarch in the time of Henry VII. was by lands. That monarch conferred the title of Marquis de Berkeley on the then Lord Berkeley, in consideration of his levying a fine ou his property to the use of himself for life, remainder to the heirs male of his body, remainder fo Henry VII. and his heirs male, remainder to the right heirs of the said marquis. The marquis died without any issue, and the barony of Berkeley devolved on the King by the fine. Now if this was a barony by writ, it was evident that the title would devolve on the brother ofthe marquis; but as the brother did not succeed to the laud, he never enjoyed the title, but died a commoner. Was not this ail unanswera- ble proof that it was not a barony by writ? The honour merged in the crown, in consequence of its succeeding to the land ou the death of Henry VII. The barony descended to Henry VIII. yet none of the Berkeley family sat in the House of Lords until the 14th year of that monarch's reign, when the nephew of the marquis was created Lord Berkeley hy writ, and took his seat as a new ly created peer. Thus, for the period of thirty years, not one of life family sat iu their lordships' house, in consequence ofthe land lo which the title was attached being iu the possession of the crow 11. On the. death of Edward VI. the reversion of the baronv devolved on the heirs- general of the Marquis de Berkeley; and it appeared that in the reign of Philip aiid Mary, Henry Lord Berkeley was accordingly sum- moned to parliament, and took his seat, not as the heir of the lord w ho had been created by writ, but by virtue of his tenure, for he enjoyed the same rank as the ancient Barons de Berkeley. He ( Mr. Brougham) bad now show n that this must have been a barony by tenure of land, by the decision of a court of justice in the case ofthe quo warranto, by the dignity ceasing to exist in the family when the barouy was out of their possession; and by its re- verting to them along with the reversion of the land. Some explanation should be given of these facts, consistently with the arguments on the other side, and inconsistently with his ( Mr. Brougham's), or his case was proved, it might be said, that an inconvenience might arise from establishing this right ; but was it lit to avoid this inconvenience by doing an injustice? It would be unjust and oppres- sive to deny a right which existed, merely because it might be attended with inconvenience. It might be avoided iu future by an act of parliament, such as that wtiich abolished the heritable jurisdictions iu Scotland, and the military tenures in Scotland, it had been indignantly taunted, that no person ever heard of a peer sitting in that house by right of purchase; but in answer to that he would say, that bishops sat in th at house as barons by tenure, and in no other way,— nay, there was a bishop who was not entitled to sit in that house, because he had not a barouy ; be meaut the Bishop of Sodor and Man; yet he had all the other rights of a bishop; an ordination by him was as good as one by the Pope ( laughter) ; he had a right to sit iu the con vocation, but though he did not sit in the English parliament, he sat iu the Manx parliament. He did homage to the Lord of Man. Now was it not ab- surd that a subject could makea bishop? Yet the Cuke of Atholl could make a menial servant a bishop, if he could get him ordained, and such a bishop would have a right to sit in the convocation. Was not this absurd ? Yet no person denied the existence of these things, notwithstanding their ab- surd consequences. A bishop could not take his seat iu that house until he did homage to the King, for the land which couferred the right of a seat in that house was vested in the crown, from the death of the predecessor, until homage was done. And he ( Mr. Brougham) understood that there were some bishops at this moment prevented from assist- ing their lordships, because they could not do homage in cousequeuce of the melancholy affliction of his Majesty; still they were as much bishops as if they could sit in the house. From this it was evident that those bishops had their baronies, not by force of their consecration or election, but by force ofthe land. He entreated their lordships to dismiss from their consideration all the obligations founded 011 inconvenience, lor many sound rights of prerogative would be superseded if such arguments weu allowed. The crown could choose any man out of the street, who was in Ihe lowest state of ignorance and vice, and make him Lord Chancellor. Ycl, absurd and inconvenient as that might appear, it was no argument against the existence of the prerogative. I11 like manner a peerage was liable to greater abuses than should follow from a barony by tenure in a. barotiy ill fee- tail, whereby a woman could carry' the lowest dirt on earth to the peerage. The learned counsel in conclusion entreated their lordships to treat the question as one of slrict law, and to remedy the inconvenience if they thought proper. But let it be done not by judicial but legis- lative means, for Ihe latter would be consistent with justice, but the former a violation of it. The ageiit of Col. Berkeley vvas then called, and deposed that Col. Berkeley was in the possession of the manor of Berkeley Castle, with its appur- tenances, and that the witness held court there 01. behalf of the Colonel. This closed the case on behalf of the claimant. The further consideration of the subject was then adjourned sine die. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 14. REX V. THE JUSTICES OL' GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Parish Overseers.— Judgment. In this case a rule had been granted to show cause why a Writ of Mandamus should not be issued, directed to the Justices of the county of Gloucester, commanding them to hear nn appeal brought by one Overseer of a Parish against the Accounts of another Overseer, Whose appointment was coteniporaneous with his own. From Ihe affidavits on each side it appeared that a Mr. Hamp and a Mr. Walker had been appointed as overseers of the parish in question for the same year. By an arrangement between the overseers themselves, without any sanclion by Vestry or Justices, it was agreed that Hamp should take the charge during the first half of the year, and as he was anxious to leave the parish during the latter half year, lhat then the charge should be taken up by Walker. When they came to pass their accounts, Hamp, according ( 0 his own statement, found fault with some of the dis- bursements of Walker, as having been made to able- bodied men, without the sanction of Vestry or Magis- trates, and he ( Hamp) alleged lhat Walker had not given him the opportunity to inspect the accounts, so as to enable him to object to them effectually before the Vestry, by which means the accounts were allowed. From that order of allowance Hamp appealed to the Justices in Sessions. After the case had been partly heard, an objection was taken by Mr. Justice, who appeared for Mr. Walker at the Sessions, that the Magistrates could not, in point of law, hear an appeal by one Overseer against the accounts of his co- overseer, and on that ground the Justices refused to proceed further with the case. Mr. Hamp then ob- tained the rule nisi for the mandamus to compel them to hear it out and decide. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL, Mr. JUSTICE, and Mr. ALEXANDER, showed cause against the rule, and at the request of Mr. Justice BAYLEY that they would state shortly the point on which they relied, the point was stated to be that an appeal hy one overseer could not legally be heard against the accounts of another, as the parties were joint over- seers, and lhat an objection by one to the accounts of the other was an objection lo his own accounts, it was true that the one had acted during one part of the year, and the other during another part, but then that was merely a private arrangement between them- selves, nnd adopted at the request, and for the accom- modation of- Sir. Hamp, who now applied for the rule. The law knew nothing about one overseer as contradistinguished from his colleague, and the Ma- gistrates had no jurisdiction to hear such an appeal; but suppose the Court should be of opinion that they had, then they had heard it and dismissed it. That decision might be wrong, but the principle on w hich this Court interfered by mandamus was to set the jurisdiction in motion, and not to correct erroneous decisions. The Acts of ther 17th Geo. II. and 50th Geo. HI. for regulating these matters, made no allu- sion to separate overseers, nor to a case of this description. Mr. CAMPBELL, contra.— Tire Acts mentioned gave the right of appeal, and therefore the Justices had jurisdiction, and there was no reason why one overseer should not be heard against the accounts of another; and it was for the advantage of the parish that it should be so, and that each should be answer- able for his own default, and not for the default of another. It was clear that the Justices had not pro- perly heard the appeal,- for their examining one or two witnesses, and then refasmg to go further, on the ground of want of jurisdiction, Was no hearing at all. Lord TENTERDEN was of opinion that the Manda- mus shonld go. There was no ground, either in law or reason, for not hearing the objections of one over- seer against the accounts of another. There was nothing in the Acts of Parliament to prevent it,- and it was reasonable that the parish should have the advantage of the activity of Ihe more vigilant over- seer. Such being the law, the next question was, whether the appeal had been heard. ( His Lordship here stated the material facts as above- mentioned.) Tt was clear that this was not a proper hearing, and the Justices must hear, whatever might be the way in which they should decide. Mr. Justice BAYLEY was of the same opinion. There was no reason why churchwardens and over- seers might not act separately aud distinctly, and each be answerable for his own default on objections stated by the other; and if the one did not do what he otight to do, the other might appeal. As to what was called a hearing, it was 110 proper hearing, and the case stood as if the appeal had been rejected in the first instance. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE was of the same opinion Mr. Justice PARK E concurred. It was unnecessary here to say anything as to how far the one might be liable for the contracts of the other. But he thought it clear that the objections of the one against the accounts ofthe other ought to lie heard. Rule absolute for the Mandamus. On Tuesday last a number of families from the counties of Denbigh and Flint passed through this city 011 their way for Liverpool, where they will embark for llie United States of America. They were accompanied as far as tlie canal hy many friends and relations, who, on bidding them farewell, expressed a determination til follow as soon as they should receive the necessary information from the New World. The emigrants appeared to be of that class of persons generally denominated small farmers, possessing small capitals, and sufficient enterprise and spirit not to languish in misery and want in a country which 110 longer affords them encourage- ment or support. On' the Monday following about 50 Irishmen arrived in this city from their native shores, clothed in filthy rags, the picture of poverty and distress, who are prepared to displace as many Englishmen, by performing the labour at one half the price, and which will be but sufficient to drag out a life of miserable existence and disease.— Chester Courant. O11 Wednesday the deputation of churchwardens and overseers of several parishes in Kent, consisting of Messrs. Cork, Harman, Viney, Stevens, Huntley, and Blunden, accompanied hy our worthy county Member, Sir E. Knatchbull, waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the Treasury, With the memorial which was agreed to at the recent meeting, at the Bull inn, Maidstone. The Chan- cellor declared his ignorance of the severity of distress, as represented hy the memorialists. Sir Edward corroborated the statements made by the memorialists, adding his conviction of the impover- ished condition of several parishes in the county. The Chancellor promised to place the memorial in the hands of his Majesty's Government, and to confer wilh Sir E. Knatchbull upon the subject. We understand that while the deputation were iu London, a letter was addressed, through the interest of Lord Teynham, to the Duke of Wellington, to request an interview. The reply of his Grace was, that urgent business prevented him from meeting them, but that any communication from them should meet with attention.— Maidstone Gazette. fSiUuccUaneou!* intelligence. it The crisis in which France is now struggling presents an awful spectacle. The terrific scenes of anarchy which so long deluged her arena with blood, and rent the frame of Europe like an earthquake seem 011 the eve of renewal. The question which every one asks is, " What will be done if the elections return the same sort of intractable representatives as those with whom the Government could not proceed, and who condemned the Administration without re- ceiving from them even one measure for considera- tion ?" If the result of the elections be as the votaries of revolution anticipate, the Charter cannot survive In principle it may be adhered to, but substantially must be revoked. Her ladyship the Elephant, exhibited her portly person on the Dublin stage one evening, when the receipts of the house barely exceeded seven pounds. Theatricals are at so low an ebb in the capital of the Emerald Isle, that a recent command of a play by the Lord Lieutenant produced only ninety pounds when, iu the prosperous days of the drama, a similar influence generally yielded upwards of four hundred pounds. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT ELTHAM.— About two o'clock 011 Friday morning, Mr. John Lamer Ward, manager of a company of comedians now Eltham, was about retiring to rest, when he w alarmed by the shrieks of some females, who were calling for help. Mr. Ward instantly aroused Mr. Beverley,' one of his company; and both having armed themselves with swords, they proceeded the residence of a lady named King, who, with her three daughters, were at the windows, exclaiming that the house was attacked by robbers, Mr, Beverley observed a small arch conimunicatin; with the garden, through which lie saw the figures of two men. He instantly cxclaimed, " Surrender, or you are dead men!" The words were scarcely uttered, when Mr. Ward, who was close behind him, rushed forward, sword in hand, when he received a severe blow on the head from a heavy bludgeon, and at the same time the point of the sword he carried entered his leg ; Mr. Beverley also received a heavy blow on the arm. An alarm instantly was made, when the persons who had inflicted the blows rushed from the arch, and, to the astonishment of all, they proved to be Thomas Baynes, Esq. a gentleman of fortune, and Mr. King, a medical gentleman, both residents of the village, who, it appeared, had also been alarmed by the screams of the females, and had run to their assistance. Mr. Baynes and Mr. King took Mr. Beverley and Mr. Ward for robbers, and when called upon to surrender, they acted upon the defensive, and aimed the blows at them which pro- duced such a melancholy effect. Mr. Ward was taken to his residence quite insensible, and his medical attendant entertained but small hopes of his recovery. Mr. Baynes and Mr. King are in a state of great affliction at the occurrence. ANOTHER STEAM EXPLOSION.— The boiler of the steam- boat Caledonia, plying on the Mississippi, exploded ou the 22d ult. near the month of Ihe Ohio. By four late disasters of this kind nearly 100 lives have been lost— 00 in the Helen M'Gre gor, three or four iu ( he Huntress, nine in the Chief Justice Marshall, and 14 in Ihe Caledonia, besides those which will probably die of the injuries re ceived. T he larboard boiler of the Caledonia burst, killing and wounding about 15 passengers, and 7 of the crew ; seven or eight were blown overboard and lost ; some of the wounded will recover, al- though badly scalded. She had a very heavy freight, with 400 deck and t> 0 cabin passengers, w hich with the ciew amounted to nearly 500 souls The hull of the boat is uninjured. The immediate cause of the accident was the passengers pressing on one side to view the scenery, which threw the water on one side of the boiler, and exposed the other side to the direct action of the fire.— New York Evening Post. We regret to say that a serious misunderstanding ( to call it by no stronger name) has arisen on the Cape station, between Captain W. F. W. Owen, of his Majesty's ship Eden, and Commander Henry F. Greville, of his Majesty's ship Espoir, which we fear is likely to lead to a court- martial. It appears that Commander Greville was dispatched iu the Espoir by Captain VV. C. M. Schotnberg, C. B. of his Majesty's ship Maidstone, the Commodore on the Cape station, lo land some pirates at St. Helena, where he fell iu with his . Majesty's ship Hecla sur- veying vessel, all the officers of which, except an acting Lieutenant, were dead. Captain Greville accordingly appointed his First Lieutenant Harding to act as her Commander, and as she was to be kept in quarantine he deemed it advisable to send her tender to Ascension, having first supplied her ith fresh provisions. At this juncture, Captain Owen, iu the Eden, arrived at St. Helena, and as he had ordered the tender to be laid up at St. Helena, there to remain six weeks, and the crew to rejoin the Hecla, he expressed in strong terms his surprise and disapprobation of the conduct of Commander Greville at having disregarded his order. Com- mander Greville was iu consequence desired by Captain Owen to confine himself to his ship, and was, we hear, the only one of the officers who was prevented going on shore. This step seems to have been taken by Captain Owen without the authority or even knowledge of Commodore Schouiberg, and has, we understand, been represented by the latter to the Admiralty. We regret also to add, that another officer, not immediately concerned in the matter in dispute, lias thought fit to take part wilh Captain Owen, and to challenge Commander Gre- ville. The papers connected with this transaction, liich are very voluminous, embracing the state- ments of Captain Owen and Commander Greville, and the remarks of Commodore Schomberg, were sent home in his Majesty*, ship Pallas, for the 11 formation of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.— Portsmouth Ilerald. At Sloke Prior, in this county, a valuable stratum of rock salt has been recently discovered. Stoke Prior is within a few miles of Droitwich, where brine pits have been worked for many centuries. The following details of the discovery will not be uninteresting :— Mr. Jonathan Fardon purchased some land at Stoke Prior nearly two years ago, and the presence of rock salt was ascertained a fe weeks after, by boring. It was, however, fully expected that the brine lay above the rock, and that the latter could not be obtained. The fresh water springs at this place are so very numerous, so powerful, and lie so deep in the earth, that in order to obtain the brine, it was necessary to sink a pair of pits, and, to accomplish this, a powerful steam- engine was requisite. This being erected, a water shaft was first sunk to the depth of nearly 120 feet, and, subsequently, another shaft, which it was expected would have proved a brine shaft. In order to make this latter shaft perfectly free from Yesli water, it was necessary to case it entirely with iron for nearly 150 feet from the surface. This being done, arid the first attempt to keep out the springs having succeeded, it was expected that, by boring again from the bottom of this shaft, a good spring of brine would have been found ; but, as before, rock only was discovered. It was therefore determined 011 sinking Ihe shaft to it. At this sinking the workmen have now been al work, night and day, for about seven mouths, and have, within the last four or five weeks passed through several thin strata of rock salt. They are now in a stratum ( at the depth of nearly 400 feet), the thickness of which is not yet ascertained, but which, it is not doubted, will prove abundant, and ultimately repay the enormous outlay. The ground passed through below the iron casing, was very similar to the upper strata, only of so compact a nature, that steel chisels would not stand against it, and nearly the whole of the sinking has been effected by the force of gunpowder. It is not a little singular that during the last five years, from £ 8,000 to £ 10,000 have been expended, within 100 yards of this spot in endeavouring to get a shaft free from fresh water; the workmen have now only sunk a depth of about fifty yards. At about this depth a copious supply of hydrogen gas has come into the pit, and several explosions have been the consequence.— Worcester Journal. The Lilac- tree adorned our gardens for many ages, and yet we were iguorant of the country which gave birth to this elegant shrub. It has been discovered in our day in the last expedition under- taken to determine the heights of the Peaks of the Hitnmaleh. The English naturalists found this tree flourishing with the Indian chesnut, in shrubby wood, 4000 yards above the level of the sea; and this explains how a tropical shrub resists in our country the most intense cold, and is enabled to propagate itself as far as the freezing zone of Iceland and Greenland. At Traquair House, lately, a large ash tree was blown over by the wind, which measured in average girth of trunk 12 feet, and in length 11 feet, which is 90 feet; the three clefts or limbs measured 154 feet; yielding in the whole 254 cubical feet of good timber, the smallest of which is ( it for any agri cultural purpose.— Caledonian Mercury.

THE LATE DR. HAMILTON.— From ihe New Monthly Magazine.— T 1 rere arc few that Jittv£ paid any attention to the finance of this . country, but mnst have heard of Dr. Robert Hamilton'. Essay on the National Debt, which fell upon the Houses of Parlia- ment like a bomb- shell, or rather which rose and illuminated their darkness like an orient sun. There' dre other writings of his, in " which one knows Hot which most to admire, tiie profound and accurate science, the beautiful arrangement, or the clear expression. Yet in public the man was a shadow, pulled off his hat to his own wife in tlie streets, and apologized for not having the pleasure of her acquaintance; went to his classes in the college on the dark mornings with one of her w hite stockings on the one leg, and one of his own black ones on the other; often spent the whole time of the meeting in moving from the table the hats of the students, which they as constantly returned ; sometimes invited them to call on him, and then fined them for coming to insult him. He would run against a cow in the road, turn round, beg her pardon, ' madam,' and hope she was not hurt; at other times he would run against posts, and chide them for not getting out of his way ( and yet his conversation, at the same time, if any body happened to be with him, was perfect logic and perfect music, CURIOUS MtstARE.— A wealthy farmer, residing not one hundred miles from Liverpool, was introduced on the Grand Stand, at the late Liverpool races, to a gentleman of great sporting celebrity. The friend who presented him whispered, " This gentleman is a great turf man, and you will do well to consult him before you make any wagers." The worthy farmer, mistaking the signification of fhe sporting technicality, addressed the gentleman, after a few minutes' conver- sation, with, " I understand, Sir, that you deal in turf. We burn a good lot on't at our farm; if you'll send us a couple o' loads, with a bill and receipt, I'll semi the money back." The member of the Jockey club stared at being thus addressed, but, as soon as their mutual friend had sufficiently recovered from bis tit of laughter to be capable of explaining the matter, lie enjoyed the joke exceedingly. SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE.— Procrastination was his predominant failing, to this he owed almost all the discomforts of his life, many of his enemies, and no small portion of his embarrassments. Indeed, to such an excess did he encourage the undermining propensity of deferring till to morrow what ought to he done to- day, that he has been known, when money was owing to him at fhe Treasury, to put offeven the writing of a receipt for it, until the pressing demands of his own creditors, and the most serious and annoy- ing circumstances, compelled him to procrastinate no longer. BUILDING.— It is not nncommon in Italy for palaces and churches to be in hand during many general ions, and to be left incomplete at last. It is proverbial in Italy that great people never finish any thing, and the proverb nray be applied in other countries. An English Baronet being asked when he shonld finish his house, be ingenuously answered —" Sir, it is a question whether 1 shall finish my house, or my house finish me." Twelve pair of herons have this year built their nests in a clump of high trees in Coley Park, Berks, belonging to J. B. Monck, Esq. and now form a complete heronry; Ihe birds are greatly admired. MUTABILITY OF HUMAN AFFAIRS.— Bonaparte visited Lyons soon after his assumption of tha imperial diadem. The Place Belle- Cour was slill a ruin ; and one of his first cares was to order and provide for its reconstruction. The Lyonnese, in return, were going to erect a statue to him in ils centre j but he would not, as he is reported to have declared, " stand in the midst of ruins;" and tha monument was postponed until the place appeared in more than its former splendour. The statue was erected, and an imperial palace built contiguous, as a monument of the gratitude of Lyons. The Re- storation came, and with it Lyonncse gratitude took another direction ; the statue of Bonaparte made way for a new equestrian statue of Louis XIV. the imperial palace was changed into the prefecture of police, and the Place Belle- Cour into the Place Louis le Graud. METHOD OF INCREASING THE MILK OF Cows. — The following is an extract from a letter ad- ressed to the editor of the Newark Times: — We run greatly upon malting in this county ( Notting- hamshire), so that there is scarely a farm but what a few floors that might be applied to that purpose. It was many years before 1 knew in hat manner to make a profitable use of my malt- dust— that is, the dust, tails, & c. which fall off iu the screening. I used very frequently to mix it with Ihe kiln- dnst, and lay it on my land; but I found it a very hot manure, though in some cases of very great service. It was many years before I thought of giving my malt dust to my cows; but wheu 1 did 1 found it to answer to admiration; it made them give much more milk, the milk was of a better quality, had 110 bad taste, and made excellent butter. My way is to give each cow half a peck in the morning when she gives her first milk, and a. much when she is milked in the afternoon; for this purpose, I every year, at a cheap rate, purchase a considerable quantity. My cows look sleeker, and are iu better order, than ever they were before they were thus inauaged ; and when they fall off their milk, they fatten kindlier than cows iu general do. I do not pretend to have discovered thi » matter; on the contrary, it was communicated fo me by a relation who lives in Hertfordshire, who had practised it with success for some years. Whoever tries it will find encouragement enough to coutinuo the use, there is scarcely auything I know which will better answer the purpose of making cows give a large quantity of good milk." If success in curing inveterate cases of any disea. s be a criterion of the value of any Medicine, it must be acknowledged that the reputation of Mr. Lignum's Antiscorbutic Drops have attained is truly deserved, for it has been justly observed that Mr. Lignum pub- lishes more extraordinary and well authenticated cures than all other medicine proprietors together. These Drops are found useful in all the forms of Scrofulous and Scorbutic Complaints, which when neglected have been the fruitful source of the most serions Diseases.— See our first page.
